Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr (finger) did not take a single snap under center last week. Not being under center eliminated any potentially risky center-to-quarterback exchanges with Carr's injured finger. Carr still managed 260 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 13 win. Head coach Jack Del Rio did not indicate if the Raiders would use the same strategy this week.

Fantasy Tip: Carr has been one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL this year, wherever he's taking a snap. He'll be in a hostile environment against the Kansas City Chiefs this Thursday night, but the Chiefs have been porous against the pass this year. Carr is a QB1 consideration again this week.

Oakland Raiders DE Mario Edwards Jr. (hip) started practicing with the team Monday, Dec. 5. He has been on the Reserve/Injured list since the start of the season due to a hip injury suffered in the preseason opener. The team has 21 days to either activate him or shut him down.

Fantasy Tip: If not for the stat line salvaging 37-yard touchdown in the second half, Cooper's performance was mostly underwhelming. He'll look to get back on track in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday.

Oakland Raiders WR Michael Crabtree (finger) racked up seven receptions for 74 yards with a touchdown in the Week 13 game against the Buffalo Bills. He was targeted 11 times. Crabtree left the game briefly to have his left ring finger popped back into place.

Fantasy Tip: Crabtree returned to the game with his ring finger and pinkie taped together, and he did not skip a beat. He remains a must-start fantasy option in all leagues heading into Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
